Professional artist for about thirty years, he is an autodidact and

such as Mary Ellen Mark, Arnold Newman and Bruce Davidson. He also much
involved himself in the artistic community, initially in Ottawa with
Gallery 101 then as of his arrival in the Eastern Townships with the
P'tit Bonheur of St-Camille, he organized the Mois de la Photo à
St-Camille during seven years. In the last years, Guy Tremblay as also
committed himself with young people by teaching on a volunteer basis his
art to teenagers in collaboration with the Association des groupes
jeunesse de l'Or Blanc and the Coalition Sherbrookoise pour le travail
de rue. He received up to now, three grants from the Conseil des arts et
des lettres du Quebec. The art of Guy Tremblay was presented in more
than 30 solos or of group shows. Its photographs belong to several
public and private collections in Canada, the United States, France and
Cuba.

The art of Guy Tremblay alternates between the landscape and the
portrait. He generally concentrates on a single series at once. Certain
series can however spread out over several years such as its series of
landscapes. He chose black and white photography for aesthetic reasons
and because he controls the process from the shooting until the
processing of the final prints. With a direct and meticulous style, he
avoids distracting with special effects. The black and white allows him
a level of abstraction from the reality which leads the observer to
consider the world in a new way. Its work is sober, contemplative and
meditative. It is a research of extraordinary in the ordinary, of the
true beauty. It is not so much the decisive moment than the environment
and the quality of the light which inspires him. In a time of the
digital photography, he still uses the gelatine silver print for its
unequalled qualities. In addition to traditional gelatine silver print
photography, he has been specializing for several years in platinum and
palladium printing.
